As the analysts of the agency "AUTOSTAT" noted, our country was able to improve its position in the European championship, despite the fact that in the last month the demand in Europe was spurred by the forthcoming introduction of new WLTP vehicle certification rules from September of 2018.

According to the data received by the agency "AUTOSTAT" in the national associations of European automakers, Germany became the leader by car sales in the last month, where 316,405 cars were sold (+ 24.7%).

The second place in the European championship was occupied by France with the indicator of 150,391 sold cars (+ 40%).

If, during the considering of the car market in Europe we take into account Russia, then our country has risen to the third place of the European rating. According to preliminary estimates by the agency "AUTOSTAT", car sales were about 137 thousand units (excluding LCV) in the last month.
